And who will count and certify such a vote?

National Popular Vote web site.

You can check your state.

From the Constitution of the United States of America

Article 1 - The Legislative Branch
Section 10 - Powers Prohibited of States (in part)

No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.

Strip away the EC and you still don't add all the votes from the states together for each candidate. If you strip away the EC you are left with 50 separate state elections with each state getting one vote for president. Fifty states, fifty votes, majority wins, tie break by congress. California would get one vote and so would main and so on and so on. Fine with me, when do we get started libs? It would not take long for the ignorant libs to figure out if it weren't for the electoral college they would never win an election.

We will never add the votes from states together because the President is not the President of the people, he is president of 50 STATES. Donald Trump is President Of the United States, not president of the united people. The latter would be an entirely different form of government.

What is killing the fair vote is
early absentee. and votes that are
mysteriously found after voting
deadlines. The latter should not be
counted. Didn’t vote in time? Too
bad. New Mexico southern district
is a prime example. 3500 votes
which decided an election, we’re
counted after the deadline. It’s
very easy to cheat the system.

A popular vote would result in a system very similar to the Hunger Games with the large cities ruling over the rural areas.

What, for example, are the recount rules?

What if no one gets a majority of the votes?

What if multiple parties now spring up to ensure that no one ever gets a majority vote?

Basically, after delegating to state voters their state legislature’s power to appoint cast their electoral votes for president, they are now setting up some conditions to under which they would rescind that delegation and have the state legislature ignore the will of the majority of its voters.

So why not skip that charade and just rescind the delegation altogether, and leave voters out of this process, as was done when our country first started? Either delegate that power or take it back, so the voters in your state know whether or not their vote truly matters.

NPV opens EVERY state to out-of-state challenges to electoral procedure lawsuits and investigations of fraud, until every other state is satisfied.

Think about the ramifications of that, assuming we can find any R’s with testiculars.

Without the Electoral College, the Constitution would not have been ratified, and the “United States” of America would not exist.

I am guessing there is a provision that makes NPV optional... because at some point a Dem may win the EC but lose the popular vote. At which point states who signed on won’t be bound to the NPV

Unconstitutional, but then, so is the phony “right to abortion.” That lie has murdered over 60,000,000 American citizens.
